Today, I shaved my legs for the first time in three weeks. It took half an hour, three disposable razors, and I cut my legs up so badly they look worse then they did when they were hairy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I shaved my legs and pits for the first time this summer. It took 3 disposable razors and an hour to get the job done. I've clearly been single for far too long. FML
Today, I shaved my legs. It's been so long since I've shaved that my razor broke. FML
Today, I haven't shaved for so long the hair on my legs has split ends. FML
Today, I tried shaving my bikini area for the first time. I ended up cutting myself several times. I now have impressive razor burn, and it's incredibly painful to even wear pants. FML
Today, I decided to shave my legs completely to be more confident in my dress. I spent over an hour making sure my legs were perfectly shaved. It wasn't until I had been out awhile that I realized I forgot to shave my armpits. FML
Today, I shaved my legs and armpits for the first time in 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hot date, I just had my yearly gyno exam. FML
Today, while shaving my nether regions, I slipped and sliced myself in three separate places. They won't completely stop bleeding. I'm virtually having a second period, and it hurts to close my legs. FML
Today, I decided to conquer my fear of blades, and tried shaving my legs with a razor. I sat on the side of my bathtub and wet my legs, but some of the water splashed. I slipped on it and fell back, hitting my head on the tile wall and slicing my leg open at the same time. FML
Today, I bought an expensive razor that's supposed to be great. My roommate asked if she could borrow it, and as her legs just looked like they needed touching up, I said sure. After a strangely long amount of time, she came back, thanked me and left. Her legs were still hairy. FML
Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get a Schick Quattro for women. Disposable razors are garbage.

That sounds like some of the girls after swim season... They can't shave for 3 months... Try that?!

So, take up a physical activity to avoid shaving? Laziness: you're not doing it right.

Whoops. Ignore the "Try That" I meant to say: Top That! Haha they all have a shaving day with packs of disposable razors it's hilarious!

May I ask why though? Why don't/can't they shave for 3months?
doglover569 0
It's so they have drag so they improve their time! Some people have shaved off 3 seconds by not shaving!

That's just stupidity. Maybe if you shaved your legs more often you would know how to do it properly.

OR, maybe if you NEVER shaved it would never have happened. Because Hair naturally grow, as if it was something natural. Weird huh ? And men actually like when women don't take this shit too seriously. Maybe if women were as free as they say they are in nowadays society, this kind of thing would never happen. Women, shaving should be a pleasure, not a torture, it should be something you do for yourself, not for others. Think of it.

34: Did it ever occur to you that women aren't required to fit some body/beauty standard that men decide?
emilyjgraham 34
well all I'm saying is I started shaving for MYSELF not for any guy. if you wanna shave do it if you don't, good for you just don't keep talking about 'being natural is how god intended us to be' boo hoo, shut up and just be natural.

Some people also take long breaks in shaving for medical conditions or injuries. After I fell and ganked my wrist up, it took me almost two weeks to shave because I didn't want to shave with an injured wrist. I also don't keep up on shaving after surgeries sometimes cause I feel too crappy. I feel op's pain with that. Though I've never mangled myself that bad after gaps in shaving but I do tend to invest in better razors. There are a few things I just refuse to go cheap on and personal care items are at the top of the list.

My boyfriend wouldn't care if I decided not to shave my legs. I just don't understand why guys think that woman who have hairy legs are gross, when their legs look like an apes.

You need better razors and satin care shaving cream. I use gillette fusion for men on my legs and I never cut myself...but.then again I shave often.
emilyjgraham 34
men's razors are better, in my personal opinion, because they're generally made for facial shaving and take extra care to keep it from drying out and making it smooth. Gillette fusion is a definite must for a woman!
sugarmommy 4
like its alrdy been said use a gillete fusion mens raiser! its the only one i use n i NEVER cut myself it doesnt matter if i use shaving cream conditioner or jus plain soap to shave with either. theyre so amazing. a little practice would probably help you as well though.

Now, call me crazy, but I have never heard of a "raiser". And what does it have to do with shaving legs?

I felt my IQ drop when I read that. ._.

That was literally painful to read. Is the word 'and' really so long that you need to abbreviate it?

"...first time in three weeks." Not first time ever

Whoops! I obviously didn't see that,I wasn't wearing my glasses, so don't hate ....

If razor blades don't do the trick. Try Waxing. If that does not work, you can always resort to plucking a hair follicle(sp?) by follicle
redmane 21
Plucking follicle by follicle... On your legs? That would obviously take a lot longer than a half an hour to shave. It would be incredibly tedious and unnecessary. Waxing hardly ever doesn't work. It won't work if your hair isn't long enough for the wax to hold on to.

Brazilian wax?

Brazilian wax = pubic hair. She needs a regular leg wax.
